UNM Taos
"At UNM-Taos, students embark on a transformative journey. They actively participate in and enrich our diverse community as they dream, learn, and achieve personal goals."
University of New Mexico – Taos (UNM Taos) is one of the newest and smallest of the UNM branches, yet in 2011 was ranked as one of the top 25 community colleges in the nation for growth.
UNM Taos boasts a sophisticated curriculum and highly qualified faculty. The campus is situated in a high mountain valley between the Rio Grande and the 1,000 year-old Taos Pueblo. Klauer Campus reflects Taos’ laid-back style known throughout the Southwest.
UNM Taos honors the area’s connection to the land and conservation efforts; the campus is fully powered by one of the largest solar arrays in New Mexico.
